The Time You Have (In Jelly Beans)
“In a poignant new video, online performance artist Ze Frank physically illustrates how most people spend the majority of their life using jelly beans to delineate time. Starting with 28,835 beans representing days of the average human lifespan he slowly subtracts the time spent sleeping, working, eating, and commuting to arrive at a much smaller square by proportion that represents our “free” time that suddenly puts things in stark perspective. Hopefully some of those working, cooking, and caring days are just as fulfilling as the days you have left to fill with fun, art, and adventure.”

“Where did the time go?!”

Maybe you need to relax and recuperate; maybe you need to catch up with studies, family and friends; maybe you need to clean up your room – whatever it is, make it count… just like the jelly bean!
